hello

I draw cartoons inspired by my business life.

I learned how to draw cartoons at Harvard Business School by doodling on the backs of business cases and publishing in the school paper in 2000. 

I started lampooning business and marketing in 2002 with a cartoon called Brand Camp that I emailed from my desk at General Mills. Brand Camp is now read by 50,000 people across the world every week.

I consult with organizations of all stripes to illustrate business ideas through cartoons. I've created cartoon campaigns for the Asian Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business School, Unilever, Microsoft, method, CaseCentral, Epicurious.com, Boeing, Satmetrix, and others.

I frequently speak at campuses, companies, and conferences on marketing, cartooning, and how to spread business ideas. Here are a couple interviews I've given on these themes: Church of the Customer and Marketing Fresh Peel.  And here's a video from a talk I gave at South-by-Southwest on cartooning as a metaphor for innovation.

My cartoons are featured every week in Marketing Week and have been published by Brandweek, Market Leader, FastCompany.com, New Products Magazine, and dozens of other business magazines, newspapers, and web sites. I've published two cartoon books.

When not cartooning, I'm the international managing director of method, an entrepreneurial challenger brand that I helped bring to the UK in 2007.

I previously found cartoon fodder at Nestle, General Mills, an interactive agency called iXL, and Velvet, the first English language magazine in Prague. Here's my Linked-In profile.

I live and draw in the shadow of Mt. Tam north of San Francisco with my wife and two daughters.

I love getting emails at tom@tomfishburne.com.
